I’ve been cutting my hair myself for the past couple of years and I’ve used a variety of foil shavers to get a clean skin fade. If you rinse the foil frame under the tap, make sure to shake off the water and let it air dry detached from the shaver. Babyliss engineered the shaver, especially for the professionals and I think that is why they have chosen this squire shape of the shaver. The carrying pouch is textile and it’s only good enough to prevent scratches, smudges and dust from covering the shiny metal shaver.

If that’s not an option, definitely consider an electric shaver that fares better with longer/flat-lying hairs. Noise The FX3 shaver has been designed to complement perfect cut lines and blends, it's the perfect tool for extra close shaves, for clearing the hairline with crisp, clean results. Its ultra-thin floating foil system offers a safe and close shave without irritating the skin. It is very comfortable to use thanks to its perfectly balanced design and light weight. This blade is really great for fading and it is similar to a flat fade blade. With its steeper angle, and its high precision, it is perfect for barbers and stylists who don’t want to tap but to punch the lines. The FX3 will give you more punching sensations. I think the choice should be between the Panasonic shavers or the BaBylissPRO. I think the latter has a slight advantage when it comes to the closeness of a dry shave and the fantastic battery life, but for everything else (comfort, versatility, speed, wet/dry use), the Panasonic shavers have the edge.

I would also say that the slimmer head and staggered foils make it more suitable for that compared to an Arc 5 which I’ve also used for skin fades. In conclusion, the BaBylissPRO FOILFX02 scores really high in the battery life department with a very solid 3-hour runtime and the ability to use the shaver with the cord plugged in. Shaving performance But the hypoallergenic foils of the shaver are very efficient for delivering maximum skin comfort in bump-free shaving.

If you push the power button all the way down it’s the off position. As you go up, this is first going to be your 6 000 rpm speed and the next level up your 7 000 rpm speed. But why would you use one over the other?It cuts the hair very close to the skin without being overly aggressive. In fact, it’s better in that regard than what the competition has to offer. The charger takes between 100 and 240 volts, so you’ll be able to use it anywhere in the world (with a simple plug adapter).
